Traveling through the starry sky just for you, I was a koi in ancient times

The Wang family's dining table was always simple, with two staple foods, a bowl of thick porridge, a piece of toasted steamed bread, and a delicate small plate next to it. There was a boiled egg, a few drops of sauce and a small piece of pickled vegetable on the plate, and four other small dishes, two hot and two cold. The dishes were simple and all on a small plate.

"Mother, please enjoy your meal!"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fell into silence again. Neither of them was in the mood to pick up their chopsticks. Mother Hui Niang lowered her head and stared at the corner of the table in a daze. Mother-in-law Wu pondered for a full cup of tea and slowly murmured, as if talking to herself:

"Jin'er is the smartest child I've ever met. This child is smarter than Shuyan was when he was a child. Even smarter than us adults."

Mother-in-law Wu looked up at her second daughter-in-law, then looked away, toward the bright window, and continued.

"Last time, Jin'er and his grandfather discussed the idea of ​​'Tui Yu Ren'.

The master returned home and was excited for the whole night, and was very impressed. The descendants of my Wang family have the ability to revive the nation.

He wrote down everything Jin'er said that day, revised it repeatedly, and wrote a policy paper, hoping to ask his old friend in the Ministry of Rites to submit it to the court.

Oh, I never expected that such a wise man would be envied by the gods! "

Before Wu finished her words, her mother, Hui Niang, looked up suddenly as if struck by lightning, and stared at her mother-in-law for a long time without saying a word. The two of them stared at each other across the table...

Outside the door came the sound of Zhu Yu's footsteps:

"Madam, Miss, Miss is calling."

Before she could finish her words, the door curtain was lifted up and her mother Hui Niang ran to the west room like a gust of wind.

Zhu Yu almost bumped into the lady at the door. Just as he was about to greet her, before he could bend his knees, the lady had already entered the west room. Zhu Yu hurriedly ran to catch up.

My mother-in-law, Mrs. Wu, followed out hurriedly.

In the bedroom in the west room, the wet nurse was kneeling beside the bed, pulling the young lady.

Wang Jinyi stretched his hands into the air, and sat on the bed in shock, his hands constantly grasping at the air, his eyes dull and unfocused, and he shouted loudly,

"Mom, don't cry, I'm here, don't go, don't go... Don't go... Chen Zhiyuan, someone is chasing us, chasing us, let's... don't go..."

When the mother entered the room, she saw her daughter sitting there screaming in shock, her hands grasping at the air. The mother rushed over, hugged her daughter, gently stroked her back, and kept repeating,

"No, no, I'm here. I won't leave. Don't be afraid. I'm here."

Wang Jinyi's stiff body was suddenly hugged by his mother. His hands, which were stretched forward, slowly dropped down. He slowly closed his eyes and lowered his head to rest on his mother's neck.

As if all his strength was suddenly drained away, he fell limply, still mumbling.

A strange name came to my mother's ears:

"Chen Zhiyuan, Chen Zhiyuan..."

The mother was surprised, her mind racing, who was this Chen Zhiyuan? She didn't seem to recognize this person with the surname Chen, who was this?

Just as she was wondering, her mother-in-law, Mrs. Wu, patted her mother gently.

"Put the child down, so she can feel more comfortable." Wang Jinyi's breathing slowly became steady, and she stopped murmuring. Only then did her mother gently put the child on the bed and tuck in the quilt...

Wang Jinyi fell asleep, woke up, fell asleep again, and woke up again over and over again. Her mother never dared to leave her daughter's side again. She kept a close eye on her, fearing that her daughter would scream again as soon as she left.

Mother-in-law Wu accompanied me silently without saying a word, only occasionally reminding me to take medicine and drink water, and helping me deal with some chores in the yard of No. 9 Yongxing Lane.

The servants who were most worried were the people in Wang Jinyi's room.

Qingyu's accounts were due at the end of the month, and the ten-day accounts from Taisheng Rice Shop were also due. The young lady was ill and could not manage anything. I wanted to take on all these things on my own, and I went to Zhuyu to discuss it, but Zhuyu was too busy to handle it.

Zhu Yu is busy like a top every day. In addition to the normal daily work in the young lady's room, Qing'er is also training her to manage the affairs of the courtyard.

Now I need to take care of the young lady's medicine. Yes, help boil the medicine and deliver it.

The wet nurse is even worse off. Although the young lady is sick now and she can no longer do her invisible job, she is the only one who does a lot of cleaning and tidying up work after the young lady fell ill.

Originally, when Wang Jinyi was in the old house of the Wang family, she had full-time maids who were responsible for cleaning, sorting, ironing, and lavendering clothes. Now that she had moved to Yongxing Lane, the staff had been greatly reduced, and almost all the maids and old women had gone to the villa to help take care of the orphans.

Every maidservant who stayed behind, regardless of rank, now had to do all the work herself.

In this way, Wang Jinyi spent another whole day in a coma.

At this time, the maid outside the door reported respectfully:

"Madam, Dr. Zheng is here, and he brought two people with him today."

Hearing this, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stood up and walked to the door, opening the door curtain.

Doctor Zheng, with gray hair and beard, walked into the room carrying a small medicine box.

In front of the door, a middle-aged man and a little medicine boy stood outside the door and bowed, but did not enter.

After Doctor Zheng greeted the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, he entered Wang Jinyi's bedroom.

"The one outside is my second son. He is good at pediatrics, so I brought him here specially. The other one is my eldest great-great-grandson. I will give him the medicine after I prescribe it. Ask someone to take him to boil the medicine."

In ancient China, Chinese medicine was passed down from generation to generation. Children started by memorizing medical books when they were young, and at the same time followed their elders to see patients or served as medicine boys to accumulate diagnostic experience.

Once they have a certain level of knowledge, they will start by organizing medical records and training their children to become independent in medical diagnosis. It will take even longer to be able to practice medicine independently.

This means that there are only a few traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, simply because the training time is long and the period for becoming an independent practitioner is long!

A middle-aged man and a young child were standing outside the door. The child looked about five or six years old, but he was standing very calmly, side by side with the middle-aged man in front of the door.

After an incense stick of time, the door opened and the maid led the middle-aged man into Wang Jinyi's room.

While packing up her medicine box, Dr. Zheng chatted with Grandmother Wu about Wang Jinyi's condition.

Doctor Zheng greeted the old lady first when he entered the room.

"You also take Miss Wang's pulse, and then we can talk."

Doctor Zheng followed his father's orders and sat on the brocade stool beside Wang Jinyi's bed, carefully feeling the changes in her pulse.

The door closed gently, and my grandfather and father walked into the room. They greeted each other silently, took their seats, and waited quietly for Doctor Zheng's diagnosis.

Wang Jinyi was experiencing a fast-forward baptism of life while in her coma.

From kindergarten to the Children's Palace, from elementary school to university, my relatives passed by my eyes quickly as if on fast forward. No matter how hard I tried to catch them, I could never do so. But I still tried hard to pounce on them and hug them, but I kept failing.

Finally, Wang Jinyi was so tired that her whole body ached. At this time, Chen Zhiyuan came from a distance and supported her.
